Printing plain text with CUPS

[John Kerr Anderson <johnan@umflint.edu>]

Hello,

I have an Epson LX-300+ dot matrix printer and I only want to print plain 
text to it.  I used the "raw" queue, but then it never sends a form feed 
to the printer after each job.

Can anyone explain how to add a form feed string so that the printer does 
it after each job?  I've never figured it out and if I could get it 
working I'd be so happy!!!

I'm using Debian 3.0 and the printer is connected via serial interface. 
I'd use LPD but I have colour printer (Epson Stylus C43UX) too.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks in advance...

John
